Rolex Yacht-Master ’Platinum Bezel Steel’ – Reference 116622 (2016)

Heritage Narrative

Introduced as part of Rolex’s refined nautical collection, the Yacht-Master 116622 stands out through its exclusive Rolesium construction—a combination of stainless steel and solid platinum reserved only for this model. The result is a watch that merges subtle luxury with everyday functionality, offering a uniquely understated presence compared to other precious-metal sports references.

The sandblasted platinum bezel with raised polished numerals and the matching platinum dial set the visual tone: cool, shimmering and unmistakably premium, yet without seeking attention. Powered by Rolex’s robust self-winding movement, the 40 mm Oyster case retains the classic Yacht-Master proportions, delivering both sport ergonomics and elegant finishing.

This 2016 example comes as a complete full set, presented in mint condition with sharp surfaces and virtually no visible wear. As one of the most coveted configurations in the modern Yacht-Master line, the 116622 remains a favorite among collectors who appreciate discreet luxury and timeless design.
